Cycling addiction=addiction to life journey

[shootingstar]

And, yes, I agree with the biking/life metaphor. Sometimes I honestly think that biking has saved my life several times.

thx for warning about helmet, falling dangers. THis is the 3rd time in past 4 winters I've fallen. And all times, it's been cycling at a very slow speed because I could see the ice. lst time was going slowly up a gentle hill. Usually we don't get much snow at the mainland/foot of mountains here in Vancouver. But we get the black ice enough. Deceiving stuff..

How has cycling has saved your life?

Right now, cycling most likely is keeping me away from the diabetes 2 edge..and I didn't realize it until a few wks. ago.

Cycling has made me less fearful..of sudden change thrust upon me in life. It doesn't make my struggles easier, just less afraid.
Cycling has also made me more alert of how the same things might look different under different lighting, conditions (either environmental, situational or psychological).

So much of cycling's trip lessons, even same trip made every day but under changing weather conditions, have been great lessons to carry subconsciously for myself to other areas of my life. I am most grateful....to the simple bike.
